Baked Potato Nacho Recipe

Hello everyone,

Happy Food Friday!  Today I wanted to share one of my new, favorite recipes.  This recipe has been modified from Medical Medium’s Thyroid Healing book. I tried to make this for the first time this week and may now be making it every day!  It was absolutely, mouth-wateringly delicious!

Makes 2-3 servings

Ingredients:

• 6 medium potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 cup diced tomato
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 jalapeño, minced (optional)……I used the whole thing by accident.
• 2 limes
• 1/4 cup cashew cream (see recipe below)
• a drop of olive oil/coconut oil to dust potatoes with

Cashew Cream (modified from The No Meat Athlete Cookbook)

• 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 1 hour, then drained
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ to 1 cup water
• 1-2 teaspoons dill (we like a lot so I tend to just pour in a ton!)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Slice the potatoes into “chips” that are 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick.  Lightly dust them with your choice of oil and add the sea salt.  Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.  Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes, flip, and then bake for 10 more minutes (or until crispy to your liking).
2. While the potatoes bake, combine the avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and the juice of both of the limes in a small mixing bowl.
3. Make the cashew cream sauce by simply blending all of the ingredients together. Add more water to create your desired consistency.
4. When the potatoes have finished cooking, arrange them on a plate/serving tray.  Top them with the salsa and add some cashew cream sauce.
5. Enjoy!
